isn't trouble in paradise technically viva pinata 3? because of the mini games game that was released in between tip and the original.

I wouldn't call that viva pinata 2, more like a spin off.

Im not sure if this was a rumor or not but a few months ago i was in a party with a person who claimed he worked for Rare and he said they were working on a few games i asked him if there was a Viva Pinata coming out he said maybe. So if he was a legit Rare employee there may possibly be another Viva Pinata or Banjo Kazooie.

Rare have been roped in to be one of the main companies in the testing and working with the new NATAL technology... its fair to say their hands are more than likely tied with that at the moment and as such im not sure we will see a Viva Pinata 3 anytime soon.

I would like to see some new pinatas and some new updates to this game,Ttis game is SO addictive though. But I doubt there will be another game, as I don't think there is much to add into the game? Unless people have any ideas? Possibly another alternate way of recruiting pinatas but I'm not really sure how. Regardless I would love a new game, this game is under-rated for how addictive and relaxing it is.

I also think a DLC for this game would be nice, maybe containing a new area to trap pinatas or just some new pinatas/items in general.

Also, somebody mentioned Rare are working with Project NATAL (Kinect now), so I guess there may be a possibility that a new viva pinata game could be released to work with Kinect, not really sure how it would work exactly but it just seems plausible. Either way, this game is amazing and I wouldn't be to bothered if the series finishes here and Rare continue with the spin-offs.

i can see a viva pinata 3 being made sometime next year for Natal/Kinect but thats what i think is gonna happen, could be wrong.

party animals was just a spin-off, and made by a differant company i believe.

Yes Party Animals was a spin off and made by some company called Krome Studios. Im just about done with TIP and would love to see another one besides Party Animals (i havent started that one yet.) Id really like to see a Giraffe in the next one too!

i was really dissapoint with this game. at level 30 i almost threw it out of the windows because my garden was full of rowdys and pester all the time and there is no way to stop them. They destroyed everything and killed every pinata, it was a real pain. I then scanned all the best plants and pinata cards to gain fast level and focused on getting the dragonache. After going though living hell I finally got that egg and then pester was no more a problem, and I could finally buy a sword against the other assholes.

After all this I have to say I am not looking foreward to the third game. I think rare is dumb enough to make this mistake another time, and it ruins the entire game.

I mean, what would I do witout the pinata vision cards? Nothing, The rowdys with pester would kill me literally and I can't even fight back. this is so awesome I want to murder some Rare employess. I'm still mad at this shit.

Walecs360

06-23-2011, 10:03 PM

Rare's intentions are to focus only on Kinect, when they'll be annoyed of that and will decide to go back on their old IPs, they'll make probably Banjo-Kazooie 3, Conker 2 or Perfect Dark 2 and then Viva Pinata 3.

It would be fun. But it would be for Kinect, like said.

I really want them to make another Viva Pinata. I got so far through the game had an awesome looking garden and then I accidentally sold one of the most valuable pinata in my garden and when I backed out to the dashboard to try to stop it saving I corrupted the whole garden! Which had my dragonache in it as well. Sad times

The brother of a friend of mine was a games tester for Rare in England early this year. At the time they didn't have anything planned or in development. Hopefully they've changed their minds and got something on the go with VP3.

Viva Pinata would be the perfect game to integrate with Kinect.

I agree.
But I also think it's a bit too complicated. Viva is simple once you've mastered the controls, but Rare would have to get really creative to make it work well with a Kinect.

I was interested in how someone posted in this recently and look who I find ^. But wouldn't Kinect functionality be like card scans, pictures with your pinata, and maybe gestures to change tools or something like hotkeys. Instead of needing Kinect, how about enhanced by kinect.

P.S. I love how this thread has lived through like 2-3 years.

Edit: This is like the only simulation type on the Xbox- that's this rich and filling.

Let's keep it going!

I'd love a new Viva Piņata - I was totally addicted to it and felt it had real depth.

Someone should send a link to Rare to show that there is still a sub-culture of Piņata love going on. (errr... Maybe that came out a little wrong!)

Pinata lover

I want to get another viva pinata game i even made up some pinatas and ideas:

The next viva pinata could be called "pinata island travels" (PIT), because you meet all the different types of terrains in the island, dessert desert, pinartic, microcave and pinata channel.

You could make a proper bridge, that goes OVER a river (mentioned later)
so salt water creatures go under the bridge and ground creatures go over the bridge.

Bigger gardens, yep bigger gardens. The size of the garden is perfect for a family of mousemallows and bunnycombs, but the size of the garden is like a raisant for an adult chocolodocus and an adult dragonache put together.

There Ocean should be called the Pinata channel (english channel). All sea creatures could go on land, but not swimming on it, crawling on it.

Also you can add a griffin, (when a eaglair and a roreo mate)that can be called gruffin (griffin-muffin).
And when a quackberry and sweetooth mate, they make a platypie (platypus-pie). If you want to see what a platypie could look like, go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...kRaYbP5AY&NR=1 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=endscreen&v=cFkRaYbP5AY&NR=1) and skip until 4:27
And a pegasus (which is made from a chewnicorn and a buzzenge) that is called a popasus (pegasus-popcorn)
For crossbreeding maybe willy gets a new special biulding, a breeding cave.

Also for a cave, that have underground pinatas (whirlms, profitamoles, etc.) and call the cave microcave (microwave):drunk.

They can also add a new pack called hieght pack, make a large mountain or a vally, that adds new mountain flowers, and a cute goat (which probably can be evolved by a goomba). when a valley is placed beside water, it creates a river:Bounce:.

Also a salt pack, when salt is put in water, the water is turned greenish so you can have water pinatas and water plants. when put on land, a puddle is made, and you can plant water plants in these puddles.

Ruffians, as you probably know, is a red masked thing with no purpose but destroy your garden. That is why i thought that the ruffians can be tamed. When you tame a ruffian it turns into a worker and then that worker is unlocked. The tame requirements depend on who the worker is (if it is sprinkling, you need a specific number of flowers to tame it, if it is a diggerling, you might need a profitamole or something etc.)

White fishberry (fish-strawberry) fishes could be like flutterscotches, they start white and change colour when fed things
Pistarchio (starfish-pistachio)
Cockwhale (whale-cocktail)
Sharkie (shark-smartie, this is a sour pinata), if you want to see what a sharkie could look like, go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...kRaYbP5AY&NR=1 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=endscreen&v=cFkRaYbP5AY&NR=1) and skip it until 4:53
Octofee (octopus-toffee or coffee i don't know)
Jellymel (jellyfish-caramel), could also be called jellymelly

Potato
Tomato
Cabbage
Pre-vegetable (grows like a yam but looks like a orange triangle)

Produce:

Egg (willy could get a specail building that lets the cluckles lay an egg), when tinkered turned into english breakfast.
Cheese (I know it is already in the game, but it costs alot of time and coins to get a cheesecake)

Garden items:
Volcano that is leaking lava
waterfall
couple of different shaped rocks
a poisonous lake with a tipped over toxic can beside
toilet

Achievements:

Ice age director (50g): evolve a tigermisu, elephanilla and squazzil and have a slotherry

These games were so much fun when i played them back in the day! They are totally discredited in my opinion. Most definitely do not get the recognition Rare deserves. If i played this now i would be labelled more than likely as a faggot or a puff haha.. But it was so fun! i'd never be able to advise or convince my friends to play this, even though they'd enjoy it

I'd look forward to a viva pinata 3, Even if they only added on a few things i still liked the whole concept of it! a new game means more people will play online, & i use to spend a lot of time visiting amazing gardens haha (sounds sad i know) but it was fun :}

I'd like there to be another, but I think it might be a long shot. The first 2 were great, but too similar, especially considering how quickly the sequel was released.

CrazyCatLady

02-15-2013, 12:21 AM

I think another would be popular, I'd certainly play it. Sure I think my friends would mock me for it but there's something about the colours and the game play that's so soothing! I do think there's a niche in the market for this kind of game that Rare would be wise to exploit.

CrAzYnEsS

03-19-2013, 03:17 PM

They definitely need to make a 3rd one and it needs more water animals.

They would have to enlarge the garden size by at least 10x and have to add deep water effects. But hey doesn't everyone want that anyways?

If they were making VP3 for XBone I would consider getting one. Hopefully the gardens could be like 3x bigger than they are now.

What is so good about this game? Anyone care to enlighten me because all I ever see people anywhere else do is tell others to go to this game as it is a 'baby game'. I assumed it was for children and left it alone ever since.

I genuinely want to know, not trying to start an argument.

I think everybody that loves this game should send something to rare about putting time to this game. It's fantastic. I would love to see a third installment and I am sure you all would! WE need to band together to make it happen. If they see enough of us want it then they will do it!!!!

Hosscat

08-21-2013, 09:18 PM

Hopefully that was a glimpse of a third vp, but im guessing, with the fence and all it may have been zoo tycoon.

However, if you took this game and made it 'adult' you would basically have a wildlife rearing and garden building game.

Granted, it doesn't sound fun, but what makes it fun is that it is so incredibly detailed. Even though it's dressed up as a kids game, the number of things you have to monitor, the number of things you have to do to complete your goals is, frankly, way beyond young children.

If this were an adult game, you would be tasked with breeding animal species then releasing them to zoos and wildlife sanctuaries for rewards, to breed them you would have to complete certain other tasks first. Because you can house virtually any animal at all, you have to either monitor what you have in your garden or segregate them, if you don't, you would have issues of lions killing and eating antelopes (such things actually happen in this game).

To put it another way, you're god and you've been given an open location where any animal can visit and live, your job is to rear them, whilst making sure they don't kill other species, then release them into the wild when they're numerous enough to survive. It's a zoology and agriculture game as there is equal amounts of work put in to growing plants and trees then cultivating them.

In many ways, it sounds boring, but it's the presentation that makes it work. Because it's presented as a childs game, there is an innocent charm to it, but more than that, it allows what would be ludicrous ideas in an adult version to be perfectly acceptable gameplay in this. Things like adding fertilizer to grow trees to the biggest heights to get more fruit to feed to certain animals to make them stay/breed/change colour.

Essentially, the draw is that it's a strategy sim. Your objective is to complete challenges, level up and attract bigger and better pinata. Completing all the challenges just gives you some direction as you play. It's incredibly fun, if you like that sort of game.
